The tail rotor is low..... very low.... belly button stuff.... so any operator using the rear loading facility is really obliged to put a pretty substantial guard in place to ensure that the rear loading is safe [ish] for the medical crew.

The police aircraft clearly has less interest in that aspect but an air ambulance operator simply using the side door - as many do - would have a similar lack of need.
